Guest dippy Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I need new front calipers for 1995 non-turbo Supra. Garage charged me for checking car and then said could not get them unless go to Toyota which would cost a fortune. Have had someone try and get me some or reconditioned ones and cant find any. Can anybody help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Do you know which brakes you have fitted? the Supra came with 2 options; the smaller 2pot/1pot and the larger 4pot/2pot, there are pics of each type here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?249089-Supra-Brake-setups If you cannot rebuild the calipers yourself, then your best/cheapest option would be to get a company like http://www.biggred.co.uk/ to refurbish them for you. If you email them, saying which calipers you have they'll give you a quote to completely strip, paint and rebuild them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anybody help please. Where in East Anglia are you? There's a guy in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire who has a shed load (quite literally) of reconditioned MkIII Soarer calipers. The front calipers of the Soarer TT and UZZ32 active V8 are identical to the J Spec MkIV Supra brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v6shep Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Whatever you do, do not use the "brake caliper specialists" That would be a big mistake! Talking from experience. Just a heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dippy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I dont know what type i have to be honest. My mechanic i use told me that he can get them reconditioned at £200 each. I rang Bigg Red Ltd and they said twin is £119 or 4 piston is £129. I phoned Whifbitz and they said new would be £223 for UK spec or £297 for Jap spec. Cant get anyone to do it for me other than my mechanic at moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 You don't need to get under the car, just look through the wheel and you'll see the caliper, it would pay you to join the forum then we can help you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its the 4 piston i have. Does anyone know anyone in Stevenage/Hitchin area that is a mechanic and could help me as my mechanic seems to think it will cost £200 each and that does not include new brushes and fitting. Bloody nightmare all this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Phone Toyota for a price, UK spec or 4 piston calipers not so long ago were just under £200 each which for a large 4 piston caliper is cheap. Front pads were around £60 and discs around £70 If your local Toyota dealers aren't helpful call Steve Manley at Inchcape Toyota in Oxford 01865 291333 he is an exellent parts guy and gives as much discount on genuine Toyota parts as possible.
